Anything in the log?
Are you testing in the android studio emulator or on a real phone?
Please share the "recommended processes" that you've followed.
And your project settings.
I'll look into it on the weekend in detail if nobody else can spot the issue until then.
So far, everything looks normal and I didn't see anything in the log at a glance. (besides a bunch of res related warnings that I am not sure about)
Are the images in your res folder / do you see them when you go to View > Tool Windows > Resource Manager ?
I second this.
I've learned about it at work and used it privately.
How could you install anything or change any setting if it "doesn't change" ?
The main difference to your examples is that an "immutable OS" is in fact mutable, while none of your examples describe themselves with an adjective that is contradicting with their function/inner workings.
Flatpak is a pretty good name, because it makes software flat in the sense that it avoids having a (tall) dependency tree.
Don't panic, thats just me running it on PC, laptop, worklaptop, pinenote, pinephone, steamdeck and in multiple VMs for experimentation. (and don't forget my randomized fingerprinting setup in the browser)
There is a website to check which hardware is supported (on which distro). You can look up your laptop there, but beware that it is crowdsourced, so there might have been tinkering involved before submitting the results or the results may be outdated.
Click on "probe your computer" then check the results to see what your current setup supports.
Short answer: yes
Long answer: yeeeeeeeeees
tldr:
Tell us what commands you ran exactly and what the terminal responded.
(Do this in general when asking for Linux help btw. that makes it a bit easier to give a useful reply straight away.)
Now actually use it for a couple of years. Then you'll see whats special about it.
For me personally, Ubuntu was breaking on every dist upgrade, the software was always out of date or not available in the repos. Been running arch for 5 years, same install, even transplanted it over to newer computers without issues. When some package is missing, I can throw together a PKGBUILD with chatgpt and put it on the AUR for others to use. It fucking rocks and is extremely sturdy while allowing me to do with it whatever I want.
But yeah, besides that, it's just a linux. The individual things it does well are not even exclusive to arch. Ideally, you should not think about your OS at all and it should be out of your way, while you do something on it.
Possibly this contains the reason why it broke:

I don't know how you went about installing davinci, but if you added a repo or ppa that is incompatible with the version you had, apt would try to resolve it by removing everything incompatible.
Easiest way to fix it would be to reinstall Kubuntu and all the packages you had, while keeping your old home partition/folder. That way all your data, downloads and most of the configs will stay.
The installer used to have a checkbox for that somewhere, at least back in the day when I used Kubuntu. Afaik it would automatically detect that a home already exists, even if it is not on a seperate partition.
But just to be extra safe, I'd recommend just live booting some other OS and backing up your home to an external drive.
Well, steam deck os is from valve, a big player.
The majority of users don't make any fuss about it.
What should I do?
Install Windows on his laptop, or better yet let him do it and sit besides him for guidance, so that he can learn to reinstall in case something breaks badly.
It's nice to showcase your favourite OS and make people curious but don't abuse your friends with your Linux preference by forcing it onto them.
(Also, if you fix everything for them all the time, how will they learn?)
Reminds me of when they started printing "vegan" and "gluten free" on water bottles.
Ah yes, the inherited ui/ux nightmare
Nobody mentioned it yet, but my current no hassle solution is to:
just physically move the nvme from one computer to the other
It doesn't matter much what Linux you use. Rather what is your desktop environment? (KDE Plasma, Gnome, sway etc.)
On KDE for example there is a shortcut to restart the compositor, which might fix your issue.
But in general you might have luck "restarting" it by switching the tty. You do that by pressing CTRL + ALT + some function key between F1 and F8 (the standard gui tty number depends on the distro). Try to switch to a non gui tty and then back.
For example, on my distro I would do:
but on yours it might be F7 or some other.
As far as I can see it is just Debian with LXDE, firefox ESR and some other packages preinstalled.
If they respect the license, you as a user can ask for the source code by e-mail.
But from my point of view, you can just install plain old Debian and all the same software and get a long term proven OS that will not randomly disappear and a huge userbase for support questions.
I did that and:
The only file that is correct is only of the regular version, so there are a lot of variations missing - you wouldn't be able to get the same files as by following the paid way. The upload is 8 years old and seems to be part of an opensource website.
There is another upload from 4 years ago, where the files appear to be called by the same name, but it's not the same font at all. Seems to be part of a website again, which shows a couple of fonts for comparison. Maybe they've put it there as a placeholder.
Thats why I wanted to ask how to safely upload them.
Keep in mind that the average longevity of laser disks is 10-20 years. After that the data gets corrupted and will become unreadable at some point.
Thats why I don't use cd/dvd/bluray.
Books on the other hand, I love as a physical media.
Here is a list of funded projects:
If anybody wants to look depper into their claim of "proven success".
I browsed through it shallowly and didn't find any project that I know/use, nor were the projects which I have randomly clicked on any interesting, when they had a working, usable result at all and not just designs or proof of concepts.
I know it sounds cynical, but I honestly don't mean it negatively. I just wanted to look a bit into it because their claims seemed without substance to me.
But as I said I only looked at it very shallowly so far.
Spoiler: it will not change his life
Wayland support: Experimental support in Deskflow v1.16 (required >= GNOME 46 or KDE Plasma 6.1).
Path of Achra - the game speaks for itself.
One monitor not working after sleep - "insignificant"
Thats the true Linux nerd mentality :D
Jokes aside, can you check for anything gpu or monitor related in journalctl after the wakeup?
I agree about plain english in the package manager.
Years ago I wrote a script (now unmaintained) called "human Bash" where I wrapped a bunch of my commonly used commands in english words.
Some examples (parameters in cursive):
and so on.
But since then I moved on to gui tools entirely.
Personally I like the following two approaches:
Free and open source for selfhosting, paid when hosted by the company (e.g Nextcloud, gitea, cal.com)
Free and open source with basic features, paid for proprietary business addons (e.g Portmaster, Xpipe)
I think those approaches are fully compatible with the open source definition, but please correct me if I am wrong. (The examples I mentioned are just some of which I personally know and use, but of course they are many others)
Don't worry, the world does not revolve around the US of A.
Sick! I love it
hetzner storage box is cheaper afaik and works the same
dd ?
Stop blaming it on some nonexistent cultural phenomenon.
People are capable of recognizing (good or bad) quality aspects of the software they use and the videos they get recommended to watch. And they are free to point out the bad ones as well as the good ones.

Homosexuality is documented in about 10% of species across the animal kingdom. The percentage of homosexuality in a given animal species varies a lot from 0% to above 30% of the population and factors like overpopulation increase it.
It's as natural as it can get.
How are we supposed to give you feedback if we can't play the game yet, since it is not released?
Man, I forgot what it was called, but once I was on the website of some batshit paranoid linux / bsd distro, which had a list of argument for why they removed certain packages.
It definitely seemed like the maintainers were reading the source, but some of the arguments were also really out there.
Hope somebody can remind me of what it was called.
Edit:

I'm (deliberately) being listed as Windows, because some websites are cancer when they smell your Linux.
I honestly don't remember what happened, but I remember raging at it about 7 years ago, before changing the user agent and since then I've always done it like this.
They support AMD as well.

Seems like you can run llama.cpp directly on intel ARC through Vulkan, but there are still some hurdles for ollama.
I print from my phone just fine
